And Never Been Kissed Gilmore Lines

Millie:( enjoying the chaos) Hello, Gilmore. Come in.

Gilmore: I just happened to be across the street, and I- is Flory here?

Millie: Well, yes- ( realizes) -and no

Gilmore: What do you mean?

Millie: I mean, she’s here.

-

.. But she's busy.

Gilmore: Oh. Oh! Then I’ll just wait.

Millie: She's taking a bath.

Gilmore: ( insistent) I’m in no special hurry.

Millie : She's taking a bath!

Gilmore: Oh.

Millie : A beauty bath.

Gilmore: Readjusting his glasses Gee whiz!

Millie: So maybe you’d better go now

Gilmore: I just happened to be across the street and-

Millie: You said that before.

Gilmore: ( Remembers his reason for being here) I-I had something I wanted to say to Flory.

Millie : I’m her best and truest friend, so I can tell her.

Gilmore: (hiding something)This is rather personal.

Gilmore: I’ll write what I was going to say, and you can give her the note.

Millie: Okay. Sit right down there. (Points to dining table)

Gilmore: I see she brought home her algebra book.

Millie: Flory! It’s your mother. She’s home- right here-now!

Gilmore: It’s about algebra that I want to ask Flory.

Flory: Don’t tell her about- you know what. ( motions to vanity) Tell her we’re doing homework.

Millie nods and heads back to table

Gilmore: (still in his own world) Since I’m so good at algebra, I was thinking that if Flory-

Mrs. Patterson: Bring them right in here. The kitchen step hasn’t been fixed yet. The two

chuckle unaware of the children, after a moment, Mrs Patterson turns her attention to Millie and

Gilmore. Hello. Busy studying?

Gilmore: No

Mrs. Patterson: Oh! No wonder it’s so solemn in here. Where’s Flory?

Gilmore: She’s busy . Mille is fed up and kicks gilmore again

Mrs. Patterson: I don’t believe you’ve been here before, have you?

Gilmore: No, maam. I just came today because I happened to be across-

Mrs. Patterson: How do you do? I’m Flory’s mother.

Gilmore: ( standing) I know. I’ve followed you- I mean, I’ve seen you walking down the street

together.

Mrs. Patterson: I have them all wrapped, so it won’t take a minute. She goes to grab the

plants, and touches Mr. Peabody’s hand after a brief silence, she says I’ll get the containers.

She exits up left Mr. Peabody begins pacing and mumbling to himself

Gilmore: What?

Mr. Peabody: Nothing-nothing at all. Just talking to myself. A little habit you get when you live

alone. (pause) I have a son- about your age, too.

Gilmore: I’m fifteen. ( looks at Millie) Well, almost.

Millie: Aren’t you through yet so you can go?

Gilmore: I don’t know how to sign it.

Millie : with your name, silly.

Gilmore: I mean -

“yours truly” or “truly yours.“

Mr. Peabody: Going to be a great mathematician, eh? Pokes at Gilmore clearly making a joke,

when Gilmore doesn’t laugh, he may awkwardly clear his throat.

Gilmore: (deadpan) No

Millie : (fed up) goodbye, Gilmore. I’ll give her what you’ve written.

Gilmore: Well, I hope she can read it. I’m not very good at writing.

Mrs. Patterson: Here they are. And I do appreciate your helping me home. Hasn’t Flory come

down yet?

Gilmore: No. And I’m beginning to worry.

Mrs. Patterson: Do you have to leave?

Gilmore: Well, no-

Millie : goodbye, Gilmore. Ushers Gilmore to the door and sits on the couch to start homework

Gilmore: goodbye Exits

Flory: Why, Gilmore! Do come in…

Gilmore: I brought you the answers for tomorrow’s problems. They’re pretty hard this time.

Millie: If you excuse me. I have to

Gilmore: What's wrong with her?

Flory: I better go . Thanks for the algebra , and I’ll see you at school

Gilmore: do you have to go? ( suddenly confident) floor, it isn’t just algebra that I come by every

day for-

Flory: what do you mean?

Gilmore: Flory, would you go to the movie with me sometime?

Flory: yes!

Gilmore: Oh, Gee, you don’t know how important this is, because tonight I’m going to wear my

new long pants.
